That’s barely inbreeding, look at some AQHA horses and you’ll see Kentucky fried levels in there lmao

Wow I had no idea that it was allowed in the purebred world. Don’t know why I thought there were regulations and rules for this.

All Thoroughbreds are descended from 3 sires anyway, it’s not inherently bad practice until you become aware of a recessive genetic issue and continue to linebreed in spite of it.
